Commentary
Dan Curry is kicking off his first BCC meeting as a sworn commissioner with the largest single issue he ran his campaign on: parks & recreation. The Eagle Springs Golf and Recreation Center has been a point of contention since its purchase by Walton County, with some residents arguing the County shouldn’t be in the business of operating a golf course. Other residents argue the golf course provides an opportunity to children who might not otherwise experience exposure to golf. The objective of Dan’s request is unclear at this time.
Danny Glidewell’s discussion of the Highway 98 Scenic Corridor Standards may be related to a facebook post and petition about a mural on the side of Heirloom Donuts in Santa Rosa Beach. It is not clear if Danny’s request is meant to fight for or against the mural — if it is related at all.
Brad Drake’s discussion of scenic corridor standards along 30A may be related to Marvin Peavy’s home in Seagrove known for its display of banners in support of President-elect Donald Trump. Commissioner Drake’s request may also be in retaliation to Commissioner Glidewell’s request.

Commentary
Vice Chair Donna Johns appears to be the next pick for Chair of the Walton County Board of County Commissioners. It is unclear who may be the vice chair, although Brad Drake or Danny Glidewell appear to be the most likely.
